Vilkår og betingelser

Unless a derogation applies for consumers or is required by law (such as the right of withdrawal for consumers), or if a provision evidently applies only to distributors or companies, the following applies to all of our contracting parties, whether consumers, distributors or companies:

Article 1. Scope of Application

1.1. These General Terms and Conditions are applicable to all quotations, requests and offers, as well as each and every agreement to supply goods (hereafter, “Agreement”) between the limited liability company Majawidu BV, with registered office in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, hereafter referred to as “Majawidu” and the person who purchases the goods, hereafter referred to as the “Buyer”. Any terms or conditions that deviate from these General Terms and Conditions will only apply if they have been explicitly accepted in writing by Majawidu.

1.2. The application of general and/or other (purchasing) terms and conditions from the Buyer is explicitly excluded by Majawidu.

1.3. The Buyer with whom Majawidu has concluded an Agreement under these General Terms and Conditions accepts the application of these General Terms and Conditions to all subsequent agreements and deliveries.

1.4. Majawidu is entitled to modify these General Terms and Conditions unilaterally. Majawidu will provide the Buyer with timely notification of such changes.

1.5. In the event that one or more of the provisions of the Agreement or of these General Terms and Conditions are invalid or void, the other provisions will remain entirely in force.

Article 2. Conclusion of the Agreement

2.1. Quotations provided by Majawidu are non-binding. Unless otherwise specified in the quotation, the quotation is valid for no longer than 14 (fourteen) days.

2.2. Offers or quotations are not automatically applicable to repeat orders.

2.3. An Agreement between Majawidu and the Buyer shall become valid when Majawidu confirms an order in writing to the Buyer, and shall be concluded when Majawidu carries out the order within four weeks after it has been placed.

2.4. Changes to the Agreement will only come into force if they have been accepted in writing by both Majawidu and the Buyer.

Article 3. Delivery

3.1. Any stated date of delivery is always purely indicative and is not a strict deadline. Majawidu will make reasonable efforts to comply with the indicated delivery date. In no event may any delay in the agreed delivery term give rise to compensation or the rescission of the Agreement. Majawidu will inform the Buyer as soon as it has any indication that the delivery date will not be met. If possible, Majawidu will give an indication of the new delivery date. If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or business), the Buyer may terminate the Agreement if the term of delivery is delayed.

3.3 In order to ensure timely and successful delivery, Majawidu delivery system relies on correct shipping details and input from the customer. Successful delivery will be at risk in case of wrong or incorrect postcodes, missing house names and/or door / apartment numbers and / or missing or incomplete street names. Our delivery counterparts will be unable to provide their service within the mentioned time frames if any of these are incorrect, incomplete or missing. Majawidu can not be held responsible for lost or missing orders within any of our delivery counterparts due to incorrect address details. Our delivery partners will not reimburse us for packages sent with incorrect addresses. The buyer agrees that the provided address is the full correct shipping address.

3.4 Majawidu cannot be held liable for delays caused by official holidays in transit countries.

Article. 4. Retention of Title

4.1. The goods supplied by Majawidu remain in Majawidu’s ownership until the Buyer has paid the full purchase price and any additional costs arising.

Article 5. Payment

5.1. Unless agreed otherwise, payment by the Buyer should be made either net in cash upon delivery, or by means of bank deposit or transfer to a bank account designated by Majawidu, as determined by Majawidu, within 14 (fourteen) days of the invoice date, without any deductions or compensation, and in the currency indicated on the invoice. A prepayment of 50% of the total invoiced amount should be paid upon order. Full prepayment to our account (below) is required within 1 (one) full week before delivery.

5.2. Majawidu is at all times authorised to make use of its right to set-off. If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or business), the Buyer may use the right of set-off.

5.3. Payments made by or on behalf of the Buyer shall consecutively serve to pay the extrajudicial costs owed by the Buyer, the court costs, the interest owed by the Buyer, and then according to the invoice date starting with the earliest one, the outstanding principals, regardless of any statement to the contrary by the Buyer.

Article 6. Interest and Costs

6.1. If a payment has not been made within the term stated in article 5, the Buyer is automatically in breach, and Majawidu is entitled to charge the Buyer an extra-contractual interest of 2% (two percent) in addition to the applicable statutory commercial interest, on the amount due. If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or business), the statutory interest shall apply pursuant to Section 6:119 of the Dutch Civil Code.

6.2. All judicial and extrajudicial costs are for the Buyer’s account. The extrajudicial debt collection costs are at least 15% (fifteen percent) for a Buyer located in the Netherlands and 20% (twenty percent) for a Buyer located outside the Netherlands, of the principal sum owed by the Buyer with a minimum of €125 (one hundred and twenty five euro). If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or business), the extrajudicial costs are in accordance with the applicable legal provisions and regulations.

Article 7. Security

7.1. Majawidu has the right to request sufficient security from the Buyer for the performance of any payment obligation, including requesting the Buyer to make advance payments, prior to delivery or before continuing with subsequent deliveries, or complying with any other obligation arising from the Agreement.

Article 8. Guarantee

8.1. Majawidu guarantees that the goods are free of material, design and fabrication defects for a period of 6 (six) months after the delivery, or at least for the period guaranteed by the producer, but in any case no longer than the statutory guarantee period.

8.2. The Buyer shall inspect the purchased goods upon delivery or as soon as possible thereafter. The Buyer shall verify that the delivered goods comply with the Agreement, namely, whether (i) the right goods have been delivered, or (ii) the delivered goods meet the agreed quality requirements or – in their absence – the expected requirements for normal use.

8.3. If a visible defect or shortcoming is found, the Buyer will notify it within 3 (three) days from the date of delivery to Majawidu.

are, or have been used other than in accordance with their normal use or improperly; and/or

user instructions have not been followed; and/or

alterations have been made and/or (serial) numbers or seals have been damaged or removed; and/or

products have not been stored in a dry room, or have been damaged by transport.

Products should be stored at room temperature.

Article 9. Force Majeure

9.2. Irrespective of any other rights it may have, Majawidu has the right, should it be for reasons beyond its control (force majeure) prevented from performing the Agreement or from performing it in due time, to suspend performance of the Agreement, or to rescind all or part of the Agreement, at its own discretion, without any obligation to pay damages or other compensation.

Article 10. Liability

10.1. Except in the case of willful intent or gross negligence on the part of Majawidu or Majawidu’s management, Majawidu shall not be liable for any direct damages, unless the damage is a direct result of an attributional breach by Majawidu on the basis that direct damage is only eligible for compensation if it has been insured against by Majawidu, or ought to be insured based on the accepted practice in the industry. The liability is, however, restricted as follows:

Direct or indirect damage is a result of wilful intent or gross negligence of agents or third parties is excluded.

Compensation payable by Majawidu shall be reduced if the price paid by the Buyer for the goods is disproportionate in relationship to the amount of loss suffered by the Buyer.

Direct damage is limited to the amount invoiced and paid during a period of 1 (one) month prior to the event leading to the liability and/or it will not amount to more than the refund of the agreed price.

material damage to goods;

reasonable and demonstrable costs incurred to give notice to Majawidu to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement;

If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or business), a 1-year (one-year) period applies.

10.5. If a Buyer sells copied lifts or sells lifts that are identical to the Bye Bra lifts, or that are very similar to the Bye Bra lifts, and which are not purchased from Majawidu, this will result in an immediately payable penalty of €50,000 (fifty thousand euro), plus €5,000 (five thousand euro) for each day the violation continues. Majawidu will retain the right to claim both the fine and the full compensation due to the violation.

Article 11. Local Legislation and Regulations
